‘Super Granny’

Sally Wendkos Olds, a grandmother of five, talked to others about what they love to do with their grandkids, then printed their narratives — with ideas, how-to directions and helpful websites — in the book “Super Granny — Great Stuff to Do with Your Grandkids” (2009, Sterling Publishing, New York, NY. ISBN 1402757166 — 220 pp., $14.95).

Only a handful of the 75 stories refer to travel. Icons help in choosing an activity based on cost, energy level, creativity and a child’s age, even for those who live far away.
